Kevin Durant opened up about his injury in game 5 of the Western Conference semifinals against the Houston Rockets.

Durant, diagnosed with a right calf strain, initially feared the worst.

"I pushed off to run down court and I felt somebody trip me up. First thing that came to mind, 'Boogie (Cousins) said, Kobe (Bryant) said...' that it felt like somebody kicked them (after they tore Achilles tendons). So the first thing in my mind was to slow down and process what happened. Then I started walking, and I could put weight on it, and it wasn't as bad as I thought," said Durant.

Durant has yet to be cleared for on-court activities.

"I'm just taking it a second at a time. I don't really know too much about this injury. I'm just leaving it up to the team doctors."
